    Every so often I find an article I wish I'd written, this might serve as an answer to a lot of the new posters questions...

    Good article article alright. I'd disagree with point 4 but overall a good read.

    If I was going to disagree with anything it would be #6. How you feel is a very subjective measure, and I would say most people pay too much mind to how they feel instead of just getting on with it. Also the article linked in point 6 doesn't seem to have much to do with the point.

    Though I should put a caveat that you should learn to feel the difference between "ugh, this is hard" and "I'm about to injure myself". Injuring yourself is never a good idea.

    Then there are the people that don't listen to their body and end up overtraining.

    These people are usually deviating from plan (if they even have one) and probably ignoring more objective measures as well.

    EDIT: I should add that I recently got an injury that my physio put down to over training. Up until the injury I was feeling fantastic. So fantastic that I decided to go off plan and do a bit extra...

    I took "how you feel" to mean how you feel after training, during the week, during recovery etc, and not how you feel grinding under a bar - which should feel awful if you are pushing it.
